Broadcasting personality and former announcer Lim Sung-min (55) revealed the secret to maintaining her 8kg weight loss after successfully dieting.

 

On the 20th, on TV Chosun's 'Perfect Life,' Lim Seong-min revealed her marriage life and success story of dieting. Lim Seong-min stated that she successfully lost 8kg through dieting in her 40s. She mentioned that she gained 8kg a year after getting married 13 years ago. Lim Seong-min said, "Losing weight by starving myself was only possible when I was young," and added, "Now, I lack the physical strength." She continued, "I exercised regularly and adjusted my eating habits, which took about a year and a half to lose the weight."

 

Since 2020, Lim Seong-min has been practicing ballet, now in his fourth year. He said, "I was able to split my legs front and back until my 30s, but after that, aging set in, and it's difficult." Internist Ahn Hyeong-jin responded, "Static exercises like ballet or yoga do not burn many calories in a short period, but..."

 

Because it uses muscles that are not often used in daily life, it helps shape the body's lines beautifully and corrects body posture, and it can also make you taller, she said. So, how exactly does ballet help our bodies?

Ballet helps shape the body line during dieting. Ballet is effective in correcting curved spines and necks. When doing ballet, it uses the inner thigh muscles, back muscles, and other muscles that are not usually used. Moreover, movements that stretch the body vertically relax the muscles and straighten the knee joints. This differs from weight training that focuses on building muscle mass, as it trains the deep muscles and helps shape the body line. During this process, you may also discover your 'hidden height.' Naturally, core muscles and abdominal muscles also become established, helping to create a toned physique.

 

Ballet movements help correct misaligned postures such as turtle necks and bent backs, and assist in preventing lumbar and cervical disc issues. Especially for office workers who sit at desks all day or people with poor posture, most have curved spines and tilted pelvises, so they can see corrective benefits. Ballet also aids blood circulation, making it effective in reducing lower body swelling. This is because the movements that support the entire body on the toes engage the deep muscles of the lower body. During this process, the glutes and sphincter muscles are activated, helping to shape the buttocks and also preventing female health issues such as incontinence.

 

However, before learning ballet, you must first check your physical condition. Starting ballet without sufficient muscle strength can prevent you from performing proper movements and may also put excessive strain on specific areas such as the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, leading to injuries. It is important to balance the muscle strength in areas that are particularly weak. High-level movements should be avoided when not adequately prepared. Lack of flexibility and strength can cause poor posture, which may result in injuries.
